[PATCH libdrm v2 00/10] Add support for low-color frame buffer formats

[PATCH libdrm v2 00/10] Add support for low-color frame buffer formats

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

A long outstanding issue with the DRM subsystem has been the lack of
support for low-color displays, as used typically on older desktop
systems, and on small embedded displays.

This patch series adds support for color-indexed frame buffer formats
with 2, 4, and 16 colors.  It has been tested on ARAnyM using a
work-in-progress Atari DRM driver.

Changes compared to v1:
  - SMPTE color LUT accuracy,
  - Factor out smpte color LUT,
  - Restructure patches,
  - Improve descriptions.
  - Store number of colors for indexed formats,
  - Add SMPTE pattern support for the C1 and C2 formats.

Please refer to [2] for related Linux DRM patches and background
information.

Thanks for your comments!

	(lut[idx].red = (r) << 8) | 1;

had IMO been easier to read.

Patch is:

I guess you mean "| (r)" instead of "| 1"?

Well, I meant what I wrote but it is obviously wrong.

So yes
	lut[idx].red = (r) << 8 | (r);

is the equivalent of multiplying with 0x101.

Whatever works, but if you update this patch, then please update the
later patch where the multiply with 0x101 is also used.

The advantage of the multiplication is that the macro's parameters
are used only once, hence no temporaries are needed to keep them safe.

[PATCH libdrm v2 02/10] util: Factor out and optimize C8 SMPTE color LUT

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

The color LUT for the SMPTE pattern in indexed mode contains 22 entries,
although only 13 are non-unique.

Reduce the size of the color LUT by dropping duplicate entries, so it
can be reused for formats supporting e.g. 16 colors.  Rename
util_smpte_c8_gamma() to util_smpte_index_gamma() accordingly.

[PATCH/RFC libdrm v2 03/10] drm_fourcc: Add DRM_FORMAT_C[124]

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Introduce fourcc codes for color-indexed frame buffer formats with two,
four, and sixteen colors.

The fill order (the order in which multiple pixels are packed in a byte)
is the same order as used for indexed-color (2, 4, and 16 colors) images
in the PNG specification, Version 1.2.
This order is also the recommended and default order (FillOrder = 1) for
palette-color (16 colors) images in the TIFF 6.0 Specification, and is
also used for 16-color Linux frame buffer logos.

[PATCH libdrm v2 05/10] util: Store number of colors for indexed formats

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Store the number of available colors for color-indexed frame
buffer formats in the format_info[] array.  This avoids the need of test
code for having to use switch statements all the time to obtain the
number of colors, or to check if a mode is color-indexed or not.

[PATCH libdrm v2 08/10] util: Add SMPTE pattern support for C2 format

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Add support for drawing the SMPTE pattern in a buffer using the C2
indexed format.

As only four colors are available, resolution is halved, and the pattern
is drawn in a PenTile RG-GB matrix, using Floyd-Steinberg dithering.
The magnitude of the green subpixels is reduced, as there are twice as
many green subpixels as red or blue subpixels.

[PATCH libdrm v2 10/10] modetest: Add SMPTE pattern support for C4 format

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Add support for drawing the SMPTE pattern in buffers using a
color-indexed frame buffer formats with two, four, or sixteen colors.

Note that this still uses 256 as the CLUT size, as
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_SETGAMMA enforces that the size matches against the
(fixed) gamma size, while the CLUT size depends on the format.

Move clearing the color LUT entries from util_smpte_index_gamma() to its
caller, as only the caller knows how many entries there really are
(currently DRM always assumes 256 entries).

v2:
  - Split off changes to tests/modetest/modetest.c,
  - Add C1 and C2 support.

The linuxdoc comments say userspace can query the gamma size:

 * drm_mode_gamma_set_ioctl - set the gamma table
 *
 * Set the gamma table of a CRTC to the one passed in by the user. Userspace can
 * inquire the required gamma table size through drm_mode_gamma_get_ioctl.

 * drm_mode_gamma_get_ioctl - get the gamma table
 *
 * Copy the current gamma table into the storage provided. This also provides
 * the gamma table size the driver expects, which can be used to size the
 * allocated storage.

but the code doesn't seem to support that in an easy way (like setting
red/green/blue to NULL on input, retrieving gamma_size on output), only
by providing big enough buffers for red/green/blue, and looping over
gamma_size until -EINVAL is no longer returned.

I have browsed the patches - everything looked good.
The parts with Floyd-Steinberg dithering did get less
attention as I do not know it.
But everything looked good and the series is:

As a picture says more than 10000 words, I shared screenshots of
modetest showing the SMPTE pattern in C1 (monochrome FS-dithered
[1]), C2 (PenTile RG-GB FS-dithered [2]), and C4 ([3]).
And Wikipedia[4] is your friend for the algorithm ;-)
